(Milliken) -- Milliken is now launching a version of the additive that is specifically aimed at extrusion-blow moulding, Millad NX8500E. ⌠With this new innovative grade, transparency in extrusion blow moulding is no longer limited to PVC or PET, says Brian Burkhart, Global Market Manager, Polypropylene Clarifiers.
Millad NX8500E will allow processors to optimize surface properties as well as bulk haze. Bottles produced with Millad NX8500E will exhibit excellent gloss and transparency and they will have a fresher look due to a low yellowness index. As with NX8000, improvements are less dependent on processing temperature than with existing clarifiers. Furthermore, no special mould finishes are required to achieve excellent looking bottles.
